Open Source Social Network (OSSN) 8.5 has been released

OSSN - OPEN SOURCE SOCIAL NETWORK v8.4 and 8.5

  • [E] Change DB engine to InnoDB #2468
  • [B] Installation fails for OSSN 8.3 #2467
  • [B] time_updated not showing in results #2470
  • [B] Wall is causing time_update=0 for objects #2469

Because of the engine change the upgrade may take some time for long sites.

Note if you are running own virtual servers InnoDB stores data in
shared tablespaces by default, which can sometimes cause the data file
to grow even if tables or data are deleted. When you delete data or
drop tables, the space isn’t always reclaimed, and the file size of
the .ibd or the shared tablespace file (ibdata1) can remain large.

Make sure you uses innodb_file_per_table = 1 in your mysql ini

I will release a new Blog component to fix the problem later today.
